Engineered with advanced design principles and manufactured in the USA, the Potomac Armory AR-15 M-LOK Free-Floating Handguard offers a modern upgrade for your AR-15 platform. Constructed from 6000 Series Aluminum with a Hard Coat Black Anodized finish, this handguard provides a robust yet lightweight solution for integrating your tactical accessories while maintaining reliable performance.
Many traditional AR-15 handguards add weight and limit mounting options, which can hinder both performance and customization. The Potomac Armory solution discreetly addresses these concerns. Its free-floating design minimizes barrel contact, helping maintain shot consistency and reducing heat transfer during sustained firing. This thoughtful engineering means less interference with barrel harmonics—a key factor for shooters looking to preserve accuracy under varied conditions.
The structural integrity of the 6000 Series Aluminum octagon extrusion ensures that strength and lightweight go hand in hand. By incorporating both a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail on the top and a full complement of 7-sided M-MOK slots, the design offers ample flexibility. Whether your goal is to mount optics, lights, or foregrips, the dual mounting systems allow for a highly adaptable tactical setup. Discreet anti-rotation tabs and receiver hold-down features work together to keep the handguard secure, ensuring that the assembly remains stable even during rapid or continuous fire.
Ease of installation is another benefit. The clamp-on system, secured with three hex head screws, simplifies the assembly process—making it straightforward to upgrade your rifle without extensive modifications. Complete with a barrel nut and mounting screws, every component is designed for a seamless build. Marked with the Potomac Armory logo, this handguard stands as a testament to quality engineering and a commitment to reliability, bridging the gap between military-correct craftsmanship and accessible performance.
